What is Coffee with Scott Adams?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Oh, so good. So apparently if you're a gamer, one of the ways you can tell that your video game is a video game is that you'll see what's called a server line. in your landscape.
So if it's one of those games where you can explore large territories, your video game back office might not be able to handle all the complexity on the same server. So you might have to go from part of the game that's handled by one server to a part that's handled by the other server. And sometimes you can see the line.
What is a server line in video games?
It's like a straight line, like, say, in a forest or a desert or the ocean or something. and it'd be this unusual little straight line and then there'd be a little game lag as you go from one server to the other so one way you could tell if we live in a simulation if our reality is a simulation is if you could find one of those server lines so if you could find a huge straight line in nature that didn't seem to have any explanation And that means that we have a server line. A different server handles it if you walk over the line. Well, it turns out we found one of those in the Amazon. There's a 10-mile straight line through the forest that nobody has an explanation for. Looks like a server line. So maybe now this is in my recreational belief category, you know, up there with UFOs and other fun stuff like that.
I don't necessarily think that we found a server line in the Amazon. But maybe, maybe. Wouldn't that be fun? All right. Well, the bomb cyclone is hidden. That's a bizarre and unusual weather situation that is so dire that they call it a bomb. It's a bomb cyclone. And I'm at the edge of that bomb cyclone. So far, not so bad. But if the bomb cyclone gets me, I've already prepared my backup plan. Turns out that according to CNN Travel, there's an Italian village that's offering homes for $1 to Americans. Now, non-Americans can also go there, but they say they really want the Americans. And the reason that the homes cost $1 is that they're worth... They're worth $1. They're just dilapidated crap homes that you wouldn't want to live in. So you'd have to fix them up.
So I guess I'd rather have taxpayers than have a bunch of dilapidated, empty $1 homes. So there you go. That's my backup plan. If the bomb cyclone gets me, I'll be heading to Italy, and I only need to take $1 to get myself a house.
What unusual weather situation is discussed?
Well, there was a study, Scientific America is writing about it, where they put a little electrical stimulation on the corner of people's mouths and they would turn it on and it would make them artificially smile because they'd be activating the little smile muscles on the side of their mouth. And guess what? They found that if they make you smile, you will get happier. That's right. Your mouth can control your brain. Now, you know what's interesting about that? I wrote about that phenomenon in 2012 or so when I was writing my book that came out in 2013. It had a field. Almost everything still went big. And at the time, I considered it common knowledge that science has found that if you tell yourself to smile, if you're not happy, it will improve your happiness chemistry in your brain. So if you just fake a smile and just make yourself do it, it might be able to, you know, improve your brain. But then later, I saw a story that says that was debunked.
